Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from Memoirs and Letters of the Late Colonel Armine S. H. Mountain, C. B: Aide-De-Camp to the Queen and Adjutant-General of Her Majesty´s Forces in India It is said that the right to wear the Crusader´s Cross was won by an ancestor of the family of Wale (then written Vaux) under Richard I. Dr. Mountain was appointed to the new diocese of Quebec in 1793, and presided over the Church in Canada for thirty-two years. The following passage, taken from a periodical published in Quebec shortly after his death, will show the estimation in which he was held in that city: - "His relations and friends will always remember him with most reverential affection, and all who knew him, with respect. The poor will mourn him as a benefactor of no common generosity; and ´the blessing of him that was ready to perish´ will mix itself, to embalm his memory, with the thankful recollections of many whom he has soothed in affliction, relieved in embarrassment, advised in perplexity, withheld from imprudence, reconciled in estrangements from their brethren, or led by the hand in the way of Truth. Those who have known him in the public business of the province, will acknowledge no less his ready exercise of the powers of a mind rarely gifted and richly stored, than his integrity, his droiture d´âme, his singleness of purpose, his firmness and consistency of conduct; and those with whom he acted in concert will own, that there were times when others leaned upon him in difficulty, borrowed strength from his example, and counted upon him to preserve things in their proper course.
